To be honest, I am not sure how I feel about this.

Making dramas is completely cool. I've got nothing against it. I'm really delighted that you want to make one. Making a drama inspired by already existing works is also cool. I mean, Magi is inspired by a lot of stuff, but it's not a copy of them.

But what really bothers me is that this seems like a blatant copy of the original game (considering you wrote that it's "an original drama" too), and that is something I don't quite like for two reasons. It seems lazy. I understand that you love the game enough to want to recreate it. And it's great to love something that much. I completely understand the feeling, trust me. But at the same time, if you're just going to copy and paste the plot, what is the point?

The second reason is that it's kinda' disrespectful. Both towards the original creators of the game, and towards us others who actually spend a lot of time creating the stories and characters when making our drama's. If I, once again, use Magi as an example. It was in the works for over a year before I even posted the first trailer (aka mysterious PV) on the Kouhaku RP, where characters were fleshed out, the general storyline was set, and quite a few episodes and scenes were pre-written. I know that might be a tad excessive time-line, but the fact still stands: I have put a lot of effort into Magi. Even Milly, who does Majisuka Gakuen 00, which is based on, and it shows, the original Majisuka series. But it's not a copy.

I hope you can understand why I feel like this, and it's not at all critique towards you as a person. You can make a drama based off of Life is Strange. I would love to see that. A lot, actually. But "based on" and "copied from" are two different things.
